Hi, I have a ceramic tube fuse that is stuck. The fuse blew last week,
and is set inside a tube that is just barely larger than the fuses
diameter. The fuse is recessed about a 1/2" back. It's not magnetic,
so a little magnet rod won't work. I've tried a little super glue on
the end of a nail head, but that didn't work either, the glue connection
failed. It's really stuck. This happened once before and we ended up
tearing apart the fuse trying to dislodge it and in turn tore up the
housing. Cost us $125 to replace that. I'd prefer not to go that route
again if it's avoidable. Any ideas???

Thanks!

get a 6/32 start tap (tapered) and proper drill bit, something tells
me it maybe a #29 but don't quote me on that one. Drill a hole in the
end cap of the fuse, and then try to tap it. Use the tap or a 6/32 screw
to gently pull it out.
